where is the current price/performance ratio chart for cpu's

Add a reply

Techreport has done a benchmark suit to find out the price/performance ratio.

http://www.techreport.com/articles.x/16570

Apparently Core i7 920 takes the crown in terms of average overall performance. However since the benchmark suits contains some encoding and CPU-intensive benchmarks, it may not apply to you if you're just looking for a gaming CPU. For gaming, Phenom II X4s are a much better values.

------------------------------ Intel will not take the top spot, or probably the top 3 spot back for the forseeable future. Not even with 32nm and more cores will intel be able to beat Jaguar. - JennyH the AMDiot, Nov 2009

There... that's the chart. hehe

I actually think the Phenom II's are a better price/performance value at stock.. However, if you OC your i7 I believe it's value increases dramatically.
